In addition to unveiling the Nav 10T model earlier this year, the US manufacturer Netbook Navigator is now launching a new Dual-Core tablet, called Nav 10S. Apparently, this mobile device runs on a 32-bit Windows 7 Home Premium operating system (up to 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate OS) and has a starting price of $679.99.

Netbook Navigator claims the tablet is driven by a power efficient Oak Trail Intel Atom Z670 SoC that incorporates two cores clocked at 1.5GHz and the Intel GMA 600 graphics controller with shared video memory. Moreover, users are provided with a 10.1-inch LED-backlit capacitive multi-touch IPS display of 1280-by-800 pixels native resolution.

Reportedly, the slate PC houses 2GB of DDR3 RAM and a solid-state drive with a storage capacity of up to 128GB (options: 16, 32, 64 and 128GB). Connectivity-wise, the Nav 10S packs Wireless LAN 802.11n and Bluetooth 2.1 radios, an optional SIM card slot (for 3G connectivity), built-in GPS receiver, two USB 2.0 ports and an SD card reader.

The product data sheet further indicates the portable device is 0.5-inch thick (12.7mm) and weighs 1.4lbs (680g) with the 3-cell 2890mAh battery. Other features include two integrated stereo speakers, a 1.3MP front-facing web camera and a 3.2MP rear-facing shooter for taking pictures/videos.
